Why does reducing the number of screens improve situational awareness?
Multiplying screens in the control room scatters operators' attention and makes it harder to quickly identify anomalies. At Oranjevis, AVEVA System Platform and InTouch reduced the number of monitors by 80%, from 23 to 4. This consolidation improves situational awareness, speeds up training for new operators and focuses useful information on prioritized, role-based views. It is a fundamental principle of modern HMI design for demanding industrial environments.
How does AVEVA Historian help analyze performance?
AVEVA Historian collects high-resolution real-time data from fishmeal production at Oranjevis. This industrial database makes it possible to analyze trends, identify the causes of downtime and produce historical reports that the previous system could not provide. For a pelagic fishing company, whose volumes fluctuate with the seasons, having usable historical data is essential to optimize planning and make the most of good production periods.
What role does a stable industrial network architecture play?
An unstable industrial network causes costly downtime and complicates incident management. With AVEVA, Oranjevis deployed a stable, secure and scalable industrial network that can recover quickly from failures. This architecture ensures continuity of industrial supervision, reliable data collection and protection against cyber threats. For a food processing plant, it is the essential foundation for reliable production that meets health requirements.
How did AVEVA enable a 20% increase in production?
The 20% increase in overall fishmeal production at Oranjevis results from a combination of AVEVA levers: a simplified interface to quickly identify anomalies, a stable network reducing failures, and Historian to analyze performance and plan improvements. This holistic approach to industrial supervision directly transforms business indicators. It illustrates the concrete economic value of a well-executed digital transformation in the food processing sector.
Why a holistic approach rather than siloed tools?
Siloing SCADA, HMI and historization tools creates information silos that prevent global analysis and complicate maintenance. AVEVA offers an integrated suite (System Platform, InTouch, Historian) that shares the same object model and the same real-time data. For Oranjevis, this consistency accelerated deployment, simplified operator training and ensured system scalability. The holistic approach also reduces the total cost of ownership and makes it easier to add new features in the future.
